Inspired by the nostalgic autumn season, the styled shoot we are featuring today overflows with pure beauty and romance…Inside a historical museum of Fabriano in Italy, a beautiful female figure and a groom are getting ready. A wonderful setting inspired by fall is set up for the two lovebirds and an intimate garden with warm nuances involves all our senses, while leaves create a vegetal carpet for the entrance of bride and groom. The table of the bride and groom celebrates the Fall and its presence in the surrounding territory, whose beauty is enhanced by the warmth of the candles, the mise en place, the embroidered linen fabric, the service plate made with hemp and embellished with gold foil decoration, the seat markers, the menus and the ribbons. See every beautiful detail of this wonderful styled shoot through the following photos and feel absolutely transported to this dreamy fall scenery!
Roberta Gagliardini shared with us: “This styled shoot was realized in the Paper Museum in Fabriano, located in the former Convent of the Dominican Fathers, with the aim to show the wonders of this little corner of Middle Italy of ours. This site is very striking and of high historical and cultural value, as it embodies the great knowledge of paper production. Fabriano has become famous worlwide since Middle Ages for this industry and it is one of the few places in the world where the centuries-old realization of handmade paper has never come to a stop.”
“In 2013 Fabriano has been declared a Creative City by UNESCO, for its great Handcraft, Arts and Folk Traditions heritage. How can we not highlight as much as we can our hometown and its magic tradition? The paper is the main theme of the shooting. In the wonderful Minor Cloister of the Paper Museum, together with a close-knit team of professionals, we spent a special day of hard work, full of dedication to our common aim of bringing heritage to life.”
“The wedding cake could not be out of context and its covering imitates paper sheets with irregular edges, in addition to being surrounded by the set and its warm nuances of flowers and leaves.”
“The paper matching set has been thought and realized on support of handmade paper as well, particularly of hemp paper. Hemp paper is a choice dictated by its presence in our territory and its rooting in textile and paper industry which can be dated back to Middle Ages. It is nowadays still used in the production of superbe paper material as is the one chosen for this shooting.”
“The beginning could not be but inside the Medieval fulling mill in the Museum, where our bride and groom got ready and dressed between drying racks, vats and moulds used for paper production, breathing in the full atmosphere of an ancient paper mill in Fabriano.”
“The setting of the ceremony in the Museum Minor Cloister draws its inspiration from Fall. An intimate garden with warm nuances involves all our senses, while leaves create a vegetal carpet for the entrance of bride and groom.”
“The tableau de mariage is handwritten on hemp paper and arranged on a wooden drying rack, used in ancient times to hang paper sheets to dry. The table of the bride and groom celebrates the Fall and its presence in the surrounding territory, whose beauty is enhanced by the warmth of the candles, the mise en place, the embroidered linen fabric, the service plate made with hemp and embellished with gold foil decoration, the seat markers, the menus and the ribbons.”
“This shooting gave us wonderful feelings, shared by the whole team. Feelings of being friends, of sharing and cooperating. The logistical and mainly compassionate support of an exceptional location such as the paper Museum of the Town of Fabriano, shows how the importance of our project is being understood and taken into great consideration.”
